And the winner in todays aging lottery is stress!
Nothing ages us quicker then being under constant stress. High stress levels cause your blood pressure to rise and your heart to beat much faster. With constant worries and reasons to stress out our body receives constant high dosages of cortisol and adrenaline. Our bodies aren't anylonger ready to take such high doses. We have in the past become to passive to adjust to such levels. Now our bodies are reacting by depression, anxiety, obsessive anger, insomnia and high blood pressure just to name a few. All these are caused by constant stress and are a big cause in a haggard appearance adding years to our faces instantly. Give yourself a break by meditating or using a reaction response. Just 10 minutes a day of repeating a mantra, regardless if it is a word, a phrase, a sound or a simple prayer, will help to prevent age related changes in your brain. It is easy enough for anyone to do and all you need it a quiet place where you won't be interrupted, yourself and the wish to relax your mind and body. Sit quietly in your chosen place. Allow your head and neck to relax by rolling your head, neck and shoulder slowly and breathing deeply. Keep your eyes closed and repeat a simple mantra over and over in your head. That is a white noise that will keep all other thoughts out. This may not work for you the first time, but by slowly repeating "I (breathe in) am (breath out)" you can bring your focus gently back to the emptiness. You want to clear your mind of all worries and stresses.

Can't bear to sit still, go for a jog instead?
By doing something repetitive your body goes into sync while you breathe deeply. Don't think of the bills, the job you hate or the problems you have at home. Instead focus on breathing deeply and the way your feet land on the ground with each step.
